James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
TO THE TWELVE TRIBES / JAMES 1:1
The original readers of this letter were likely Jewish Christians, many of whom had been scattered because of persecution. (The nation of Israel was divided into twelve tribes, or family lines, that descended from the sons of Jacob, the patriarch whom God renamed Israel; Genesis 32:28). As a leader in the Jerusalem church, James was well known to these believers, especially since they may originally have been part of the church in Jerusalem.
